Coin Striking Assembly Line | Making Homemade Brass Coins for a Medieval Event
My blacksmith husband made homemade dies to make coins with to use as site tokens at a SCA event (medieval reenactment). First, to make the die, my husband pounds the image in with punches. Then, one die is set on the bottom side, a blank coin is put in the middle (cold brass is too hard, so the brass was first heated up with fire so that a better impression could be made when striking the coin), and the other die is put on the top side. Once this is set up, he takes a hammer and beats the impression into the coin. Voilà, a coin has been made!
